Maybe not official layoffs, but the HR departments are probably juggling a whole lot of questions related to sick days, self-quarantine, company travel, etc. etc.
With manufacturing, a plant that makes XYZ with parts from (well) the other X, Y and Z plants, if any one of those them shuts down or faces reduced labor (sick days from parents looking after their kids for the 3X March break) there is definitely a ripple effect.
